While in Colorado in 2012 for a family wedding, the Wooleys decided to return to Estes Park and see if they could find the exact location where they took a family photo 25 years earlier. But nobody remembered the name of the lake. They hiked over six miles, to five different lakes in the National Forest, at 9,000 plus feet in altitude, trying to locate the same glacier lake with the big round boulder sitting right on its edge. Finally, the last lake they came to, opened up on the exact same scene, unchanged, and it was called Mills Lake. What had changed however, was the size of the participants, but after a few attempts, they were able to assume the same positions as in the earlier shot. They are Jeff and Sherry Wooley, Ryan, Brent, and Allison. (Sherry Wooley / MySanAntonio.com) less
